Last night the solar wind had stabilized at around 300km/s and was even dipping lower at times.
I started calling CQ at 0300z. My sunset is at 2:48z. I saw OK1CF calling CQ on the Flex waterfall and I was able to log him at 0311 ut. with a solid signal. At 315ut Andy DL8LAS answered my CQ with a good signal and we made the QSO. I also worked Alan G4UFK and OZ7YY. I could hear a few other weak callers, but the QRN was bad. The band was clearly in good shape and open, but some very heavy T-storms were banging away in eastern Alberta and Saskatchewan so the QRN was horrendous and I decided to stop CQ. I see the solar wind is kicking up, and K has started to jump again, but I will be RX again tonight. 73, de steve ve6wz _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
